A Little About Me |
My name is Laura De Bruyn. I live in Launceston, Northern Tasmania, the island state of Australia with my husband, a springer spaniel, moggy and a cockatiel. I am a trained early childhood educator with a Bachelor of Education and a Diploma of Languages (Indonesian) to my name.
I have been making lace since 2006, and enjoy all aspects of my craft including design, tool making and teaching. I have especially developed an interest in wood turning to make bobbins and flame glass work to make my spangle beads and divider pins.
I have been a member of the Australian Lace Guild since 2006 and love attending workshops at every opportunity to develop my lace making skills and knowledge. I have completed Australian proficiencies in stage 1 tatting and stage 2 Torchon lace and am currently working towards my stage 3 Torchon and Teachers Certificate.
Awards include 1st, 2nd and 3rd awards at the Launceston Agricultural Show in the Home Industries for both lace making and beads over a number of years since 2007. I also won the Australian Triennial Award for the bobbin lace section in 2012 with a collar inspired by the poem My Australia by Dorothea McKellar.
I look forward to meeting many lace makers through my own personal development goals and this site.
